A steerable fiberoptic hysteroscope was developed with an integrated fluid circulatory system and a channel that can be used either for operative procedures or for the passage of a uterotubal occlusive device delivery assembly. The hysteroscope was demonstrated to be a safe and practical instrument for intrauterine observations, using the baboon as the animal model. Postpartum baboons were used for a majority of the experiments since the cervix of most cycling animals could not be sufficiently dilated to permit hysteroscope insertion. Estrogen-progesterone treatment resulted in softening of the cervix enough to allow hysteroscopic examination in 66 per cent of the animals so treated. Hysteroscopy was performed on 18 baboons. In almost all cases the uterotubal junctions were visualized and appeared as small slits or depressions. Measurements of the mean uterine length, fundal width, normal cervical diameter, and the diameter to which the cervix can maximally be dilated are reported for cycling, hormone-treated, and postpartum baboons.
一种可操纵的光纤宫腔镜被开发出来，它集成了流体循环系统和一个通道，该通道既可以用于手术操作，也可以用于子宫输卵管闭塞装置输送组件的通过。以狒狒作为动物模型，证明了该宫腔镜是一种用于子宫内观察的安全实用的器械。大多数实验使用产后狒狒，因为大多数处于发情周期的动物的宫颈无法充分扩张以允许插入宫腔镜。雌激素 - 孕激素治疗使宫颈软化到足以让66%接受该治疗的动物能够进行宫腔镜检查。对18只狒狒进行了宫腔镜检查。几乎在所有情况下，子宫输卵管连接部都能被看到，呈现为小裂缝或凹陷。报告了处于发情周期、接受激素治疗和产后狒狒的平均子宫长度、宫底宽度、正常宫颈直径以及宫颈最大可扩张直径的测量结果。
